Is this normal?
It seems that the pedal when depressed should be allot closer to the firewall.
I replaced my throttle cable this winter, before cutting the cable to size it is important to hold pedal to floor. Try adjusting your ferrel at the Carburator or linkage. If not enough adjustment, I would buy a new cable and cut to correct length (allowing for pedal to hit floor). My pedal has no stop but the cable and linkage is adjusted so pedal is at the floor on WOT. Hope this helped?
